minor scratch on rear bumper
Stupid me...back into a concrete wall 
while parking at a angle-spot because the windows were fogged up and I was also in a rush to get to work. Anyways, I managed to buff out most of the scratches (thank god it was minor
) with the pre-wax cleaner, but there are still very faint spots and a line there. What else can I use to make it better?

Wax isn't gonna do anything if it's a scratch. You could try scratch remover, but I doubt it will do much, might make it worse.
Meguiars Scratch-X is a good product.

3M also makes a scratch foam. The other option is to drop by a detailer have them look at it and see what they think, suggest, what they would charge to do it. Some of the detail shops are pretty affordable.

Is Meguairs Scratch-X available in Canada, like Canadian Tire?

If it is residue from the wall you can try to use the clay bar. That usually takes stuff right off. I brushed up against a planter at the gas station a few weeks ago and traded some paint with it. The clay bar cleaned it up good as new.
